Using Perler Pink in a design
Against Perler Cocoa the contrast is 3.6:1 (a visible but soft edge) and against Perler White 3.3:1, so Pink pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Perler color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Perler Magenta, is ΔE 4.9 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Pink for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S25, ΔE 1.4) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N25, ΔE 8.6). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
